Swaeeet! Also do you just put in one layer of filter floss or fill it up?

I have biocube 14 with a Media rack. The rack has filter floss, purigen and chemi-pure. When i replace those, should i do it one at a time or just change them as needed. Basically should I be worried about replacing them both at the same time???? Cheers Nick

Popped off with ease!! Anything encrusting would be a little more difficult but this guy just popped out like they just fragged it before shipping it. Bam....done. Thanks!

Just received an order and my Duncan is on a HUGE ugly frag. Is there a way to safely remove it from base?? Cheers! Nick

Should I worry about this? What's my game plan?

See those branches on the skeleton?!

Got an email out for the dimensions. I'm hoping its the one with a flat back. Flow is most likely easier in that one. Depending on the conditions.... 100$ for tank, sump and stand is still pretty good!

I'm looking to upgrade from my biocube and saw a 75 Hex with sump and stand for 100$. Seems to good to be true! Anybody have any advice on the hexagon tank for a reef? Cheers Nick

Thanks Mr. x Its starting to open up more and it looks like frogspawn. Is Octopus coral a overall name for Euphyllia corals or mine more specifically?

I have in my biocube 14 the following: Frogspawn Greenstar Polyps xenia Anthlia(waving hands) Zoanthids 1 tiny clownfish Being a small tank I know I need to keep the nutrients level down. So. What type of feeding schedule should I follow?

Pretty sure it's a bubble. When I bought it the lfs guy tried to say it was a hammer. We politely argued a little but for 10$ I went for it.

Having some issues with red slime and green algae. I don't have anything in the tank to feed and I use RO/DI water. Water parameters are good and lights are only on for 8 hrs. I do have some Xenia in there and a cleaning up crew and that's it. Should I just keep up with water changes and be...

Perfect! Thank you

I have the biocube 14 that has two spots for lights. After purchasing some timers I realized that i have no clue as to the timing/ or color of bulbs. I've been reading a lot about easing into in it in the morning and giving them a dusk like time, but with a timer it's either on or not! Bulb...

Its a worrying hobby Another update: Took forts advice and did a water change (2.5 gallons) I also bought a CUC. Bought 4 snails and 3 hermit crabs. Everything seems to be good, all crabs went to town on the algae, 2 of the snails buried themselves and the others are out and about. Forget...

So after some research, I realized way way to late that I used plain old RO water and not RO/DI water. This and with my lights on (thanks Fort!) during the cycle is most likely the reason for my green algae. Big thanks to Fort for helping me during this. Now I see that getting this type of...

RO/DI water is key i think. Not just plan old RO water. I made the noob mistake of adding RO water plus having my lights on during the cycle. Its not bad but diatoms and some green algae are starting to show. Your looking to avoid silicates in your water. I'm learning quick that your...

Another Update. Ammonia 0, Trite 0, Trite 5. Algae still an issue, but you guys are assuring me that this is normal. I am noticing some green algae too. Still nothing to worry about? Its on a piece of dead coral that the local lfs guy gave me for free, it has some cool hitchhikers on it...

As noob I'll make an effort to help. You want the following to happen in order. Ammonia spike-----(bacteria eats ammonia and reproduces)--------then a spike in Nitrite----(bacteria eats Nitrite and reproduces)-----then a you'll have a Nitrate spike. Thats when you'll do a water change. Most...

Update Okay, another day later and another update. My water parameters are still mostly zero's with the exception to a little Nitrates. I have crazy amount of Algae and or Diatoms and I'm not sure why? :banghead: The algae is also cause bubbles and I have a lot of bubbles on my rocks? I'm...

Well again....I'm a noob here, but I think if you have Nitrates then in theory you have bacteria thats eaten ammonia and Nitrites. So yeah I think you might be ready to pick up that cleaning crew. Impatient is a understatement!!!
